Portland is back at Providence Park for the first time in almost a month, taking on the Chicago Red Stars for the third time this season. The Thorns have a win and a draw in their two matches in Chicago this season, and come into this game on the heels of a 2-0 road win against Orlando last week. Chicago, meanwhile, is coming off a difficult scoreless draw in Seattle midweek, and needs to pick up points heading into the final stretch of the season.
